ABBcableTK505
ForaneasyModbusins tallationintheCPUend,thepre‐madeABB cableTK505canbeused.Itincludesa9poleD‐
sub contact with built‐in end termination (120Ω) and pull‐up/pull‐down resistors (2*270Ω). This contact is
suitablefor AC500‐eCo COM1. Itcan also be usedfor AC500 COM2 (eventhoughanother voltagele
velis used),
butonlyiftheGNDwireisnotconnectedtotheModbusslaves(2‐wiresolution, preferred forAC500COMports).
